If he was my dad, I wouldn't accept it; but I like the dad he plays in the film. If this movie just tells the story of the deep love between father and son, it will not take home a golden lion, because there are so many similar stories, I don't need to come together one by one. It's really about politics. After the disintegration of the Russian nation, how did the Russian nation find its own way of return? The father has been away from the child for exactly as long as the Soviet Union collapsed, and the fatherless child has long since lost a sense of direction in those 12 years. So, an authoritarian father leads them on a desert island trip. But this sudden patriarchy obviously left the child at a loss. All of the above are political metaphors. The film uses cool colors, except for the red car. There are not many characters in the film, and the scenery is more lonely. It is the double solitude of tone and environment that constitutes the main theme of the film. For the father, this is a return of how to be a father, and for the child, this is a return of the father's love, although the father has died without rendering when they understand this love. And when the image of the father first appeared, the composition of the picture was like the scene of the crucifixion, how is this not a metaphor. In fact, it was the return of the hearts of both sides that completed the final return of the brothers, and they actually went home. From another angle, it is the return of Russian cinema. In 1962, Tarkovsky's "Ivan's Childhood" took home a golden lion for Russia for the first time. And this wait is 40 years. Coincidentally, the directors of both films are called Andrei, and the younger son Ivan's character is a bit like Ivan in "Ivan's Childhood". The film was even rated by The New York Times as "reaffirming and continuing the Russian film thinking represented by Tarkovsky." The lost brothers returned to the car exhausted, and the younger brother inadvertently found the faded film. The photo, but the place where the father's place was supposed to be was empty. And none of the many photos taken by the eldest son during his journey showed his father.
